Uplifting and soothing properties
Both Cassia and Siberian Fir have distinct aromas that offer significant benefits. Taken from the bark of the Cinnamomum cassia plant, Cassia is known to have a warm, spicy aroma that is comparable to that of cinnamon. When used aromatically, the unique aroma of Cassia can produce a warming, uplifting response. Cassia is also a popular oil to use during the winter months because the spicy scent can help to create a warm and cozy environment.
In contrast, Siberian Fir oil is known for its green, woody, refreshing scent. Siberian Fir oil is extracted from the needles of the Siberian fir tree, giving it an aroma reminiscent of a fresh, green forest. The distinctive scent of Siberian Fir can help to soothe anxious feelings because of the soothing and relaxing properties the oil possesses. Diffusing Siberian Fir oil into the air can help to soothe the emotions and promote grounding feelings—not to mention, the refreshing aroma can also help to promote feelings of easy breathing. #cassia #siberianfir #doterra #calm #soothing #bogo #november2018

The calm before the storm, they say,
trepidation in their voices.
As they wait, for the thunder, and water. For wind enough to take the roofs off houses.
Or maybe, as they wait for anger, or insult, or tears.
The calm after the storm, they say, standing in shocked stillness.
As they look at disquieting quiet. At houses roofless, and trees tossed.
Or maybe, at intimidation, or hurt, or rejection.
But the calm during the storm,
Ah....that is power.
No matter what kind of storm is in front of you.
To have the choice, a significant gift.
A power you can use to change the outcome of many things.
The power of choice, the choice of calm, yours to own.
Then you can stand, before the storm, during the storm, after the storm and change the outcome of many things.
